A/C Repair Service for Your Jaguar Vanden Plas

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. “Who can fix my Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know Jaguar vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 1997 Jaguar A/C systems. Steer your Jaguar Vanden Plas to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1997 Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. If we think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Recharge the A/C in Your Vanden Plas

While your 1997 Jaguar Vanden Plas’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Jaguar guidelines. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re all set. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 1997 Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C recharges.

Other Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Other common A/C problems include weak airflow, which could indicate an old ventilation fan, a seal or hose that needs replacing, or mold buildup in your A/C system. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. And smelly A/C in a 1997 Jaguar Vanden Plas? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your Vanden Plas’s A/C!

Frequently Asked Questions for 1997 Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C Systems

  • How can I make my Vanden Plas air conditioner colder? Park in the shade whenever you can, and use a reflective sunshade in the windshield when you’re parked. If you’re the only one in the car, close all the vents except the ones that point toward you. Give the system the final boost it needs with an A/C performance check and recharge from Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • What’s making my Vanden Plas A/C put out warm air? An A/C blowing hot air has several possible root causes. There could be an issue with your compressor clutch, a blown fuse, a leak, or a clog in the expansion valve.
  • What can cause an A/C system leak? To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your Vanden Plas’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does my Vanden Plas A/C use gas?  The air conditioning system in your Vanden Plas does not use gasoline directly as a fuel source, but it does require some power from the engine, which indirectly affects your car's fuel consumption.
  • My Vanden Plas’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that? If the air conditioning in your Vanden Plas smells like vinegar, it could be due to bacteria growth on system components such as the evaporator and heater cores. Bacteria can grow when moisture accumulates on air conditioning system components, providing a breeding ground for microorganisms.
  • What is causing my Vanden Plas’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your Vanden Plas may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
